GTI MK6 - Faults/Rattles/Squeeks etc

[ErikGTI]

This week-end my rearview camera turned black on the screen, it was already malfunctioning (giving me a 5 sec image) from April but now it is simply not working any longer...software problem...dealer will look into it....

May all the gods be praised. The tick, tick, tick has gone. I don't know what Darren did when he fitted the RNS 510, but it's all clear and quiet on the Western Front!

Interestingly so has mine stopped. I wonder if it has expanded / contracted that much it has stretched / loosened off enough to stop the ridiculous ticking?

[am1w]

Really strange. I thought for a moment I was imagining it had disappeared!
It's gone for good I hope, PLEASE.

FFS i now have another couple of rattles its got more rattles than my mk1 has had in 20 years!!!

One from the passanger side sounds like its coming from the glovebox area.
One from the rear passenger side parcel shelf area.
 
Oh and i have what sounds like an exhaust  heatsheild rattle at about 2500rpm!

Did you find out what the exhaust rattle was snoopy? cos i've noticed i have this, i can only hear it when the windows are down though.

Yep me too, ive got the exhaust rattle also. Can only hear it when the drivers window is open

[Snoopy]

No i have not yet, after looking underneath i cannot find it. It sounds abit like a heatshield at certain frequencys/speeds.
Mind mine a rattly so and so now it now has a loudish rattle from the passenger door

I've taken mine to the dealer today, they are attempting to remedy the slight squeaks on one or two of the doors [They are not very bad TBH] but thought I'd get them to try to sort it anyway, as the car is so good in all other respects it's a shame not to at least try.
Also mentioned the dripping rear washer - only does it occasionally, usually for a day or two after being used.
Will post results later.

I found out what one of the odd ticking noises from the rear is, one of them i tought was the parcel shelf, boot or hatch. Its the exhaust! The back box/end pipes tick as it gets warmer and warmer even after an hours drive. I can hear it when i get out of the car and go to the rear with it running  I guess i will just have to put up with that one.
